Employment Solicitor - In-House Legal Team | Hybrid | South Yorkshire, England
Location: South Yorkshire England (Hybrid: 3 days in-office per week)
Experience: 3+ years PQE (or relevant pre-qualification experience)
Salary: Competitive + Benefits
The Opportunity
Our client are seeking an experienced Employment Solicitor to join their dynamic in-house legal team. You'll provide expert advice on a broad range of contentious and non-contentious employment matters, including contracts, disciplinary and grievance, absence, family leave, redundancy, restructuring, discrimination, and whistleblowing.
You'll manage Employment Tribunal claims, and support strategic HR and business initiatives. You'll also draft and review contracts, develop policies, deliver training, and provide practical, commercially-aware legal guidance across the business.
About You
You will be a qualified solicitor with at least 3 years PQE, confident providing tailored employment law advice that balances legal risk with business needs.
You'll have:

• Strong drafting, negotiation, and advocacy skills, including Tribunal experience.
• The ability to translate complex legal matters into clear, practical advice.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills.
• Strong research and analytical skills, with keen attention to detail.
• Confidence managing a varied workload in a fast-paced environment.

Why Apply?

• Join a high-performing legal team with exposure to complex employment law matters.
• Take responsibility for leading high-profile employment cases.
• Benefit from hybrid working, career development, and a friendly, down-to-earth culture.
• Play a key role in shaping employment policies and strategies across the business.
